Rhode Island bookshop owner Penelope McClure never believed
in ghosts -- until she met the spirit of Jack Shepard, a big
city private investigator who was gunned down in her store
over sixty years ago. Now Penelope not only believes in her
hard-boiled ghost, she asks for his help in solving a
murder. A loyal customer of Penelope's bookshop has been
found dead on posh Larchmont Avenue. The elderly woman left
a will that was recently (and suspiciously) revised to name
her mailman, Seymour Tarnish, the sole heir to her estate.
Many eyes in the little town turn to the hapless mailman as
the murderer, including the town's police chief, but Seymour
doesn't care. He's too busy settling into his posh new digs.
Unfortunately, Seymour's new mansion also appears to be
haunted and when the mansion's ghosts begin plaguing him, he
hires a team of parapsychologists to exorcise every last
spirit from the entire town. Now Penelope must not only
solve a murder, and prove her friend Seymour innocent, she
must act fast to save her beloved ghost; because if these
"spirit zappers" actually do their job, then the ghost of
Jack Shepard finally will be history. And that scares Pen a
lot more than rattling chains and cold spots.
